An important member of the short-lived CoBrA (Copenhagen, Brussels, and Amsterdam) avant-garde artist group in postwar Europe, Dutch artist Karel Appel (1921–2006) made his reputation with spontaneous sculptural forms inspired by children's drawings and primitive art forms, reminiscent of the work of Paul Klee and Joan Miró. This fat, compact catalog, published in 1990 by Edition Lafayette in New York, surveys Appel's sculpture up to that time, with hundreds of black and white photos on cream pages and essays by Donald Kuspit, Alan Jones, and Carlo McCormick. The book includes a 16-page color gallery, with Appel's then-recent work Monument for the Indian Chief Seattle in color on the front and back covers.
